MAINTENANCE
GENERAL
1. Always store the crane with the jib in its lowest position. This prevents any
possibility of corrosion to the ram.
2. Do not leave the crane in the open or exposed to the elements. Keep
under cover.
3. Do not attempt to adjust or tamper with the ram assembly, there are no
user-serviceable parts. Contact your Clarke service department for any
servicing.
4. Always visually inspect the crane before use, to ensure that all parts are
correctly located and secure. Check for hydraulic leaks, signs of damage
or worn parts and check the wheels and castors for serviceability.
ANNUALLY
1. The crane should be fully inspected annually by a competent person.
2. Each load bearing bolt should be removed and inspected for wear,
deformation or cracks. If any are apparent, the bolt should be renewed.
3. Check the hydraulic ram operation and inspect for oil leaks. A slight
dampness on the ram is normal, but where leakage is apparent, the ram
seals must eventually be renewed and the lost oil be replaced. Consult
your Clarke service department.
4. Check castors to ensure they move freely without undue wear to their
spindles, and that the wheels are not cracked or damaged.
5. Remove any rust and repaint to prevent further corrosion.
6. Ensure that all decals and warning labels are in place and clearly legible.
HYDRAULIC OIL
If any leakage is observed, it may be
necessary to top up the hydraulic oil
level, as follows.
1. Lower the jib to its lowest position,
and remove the bolt that joins the
ram to the jib. This will allow the
ram to fully retract.
